CHAMPAIGN – University of Illinois police acting deputy chief Skip Frost said word of a suspicious letter at a campus administration office put him on alert Tuesday, but it turned out to be as harmless as it was odd.
A call to UI police came from the Office of Business and Financial Services, 801 S. Wright St., C, at 1:23 p.m. Tuesday, he said. "It came as a suspicious letter," said Frost, a long-time member of the UI-Champaign Police Ordnance Disposal team, commonly known as a "bomb squad."
